All great thoughts/comments.  I agree with much of what has been written, and I'm relieved there hasn't been a fundamental debate about this.  I think we are in violent agreement, in general.  

For me, solitude and quiet are so much a part of "W."   You have to work at it, but it can be found in the Q, and I suppose the BWCA.  

At risk of taking this in another direction, Jim_J_Solo's comments about TP flowers reminded me of a wonderful development...the QP is instituting a TP exchange program, replacing campers' TP with biodegradable TP.  What wonderful news!
